Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey posted speed limits and be on alert for workers and equipment. "Using the reversible lanes to offset lane closures will help," said transportation expert Joseph P. Schwieterman, who teaches at DePaul University. Construction of Phase 1 was completed in 2014 and provided new ramps to connect northbound I-57 to northbound I-294 and southbound I-294 to southbound I-57, as well as an entrance and exit ramp from I-294 to 147th Street.

A new through-lane will also be added on I-90/94, correcting a deficiency that forces drivers to switch lanes when entering the interchange. Motorists should also expect various ramp closures. Additional time is needed to complete the work. This project has been studied but requires additional comprehensive analysis, including studying opportunities to support future transit service.

IDOT is asking drivers to plan ahead and consider traveling at off-peak times or using public transportation. Traffic on the outbound Kennedy Expressway was snarled Saturday as the highway was reduced to one lane while crews removed the last parts of the Montrose Avenue bridge for reconstruction. Given the cost of the project and the lack of alternative fund sources, IDOT should strongly consider tolling the entire facility to offset its construction cost as well as potentially implementing a dual managed lane to improve reliability.

CHICAGO (CBS) - Commuters beware - the Illinois Department of Transportation announced that rehabilitation work on the Kennedy Expressway, also known as Interstate 90/94, is set to begin on. As the joint lead agencies, IDOT and FHWA will ultimately be the decision-makers for the I-90 project. A: Continue to check the project website for updates and view the Public Involvement page. A summary of the meeting along with other related documents from this meeting can be found on the Resource page. Some mainline lane closures will be needed to accommodate painting and the installation of new lighting in both directions of Hubbards Cave. By emphasizing reinvestment in the current system, the region can also help support existing communities and, crucially, limit the environmental impacts and long-term costs of constructing new infrastructure. The project received a record of decision from FHWA in 2017 to rebuild the expressway and add a high-occupancy toll lane. The project is anticipated to be completed in summer 2023. Construction in 2024 will focuson reversible lanes, which will be closed to rehab the roadway and modernize the 52-year-old system that controls the gates to the express lanes. It suffers significant safety problems because of several left-hand ramps. The road is typically two lanes in each direction, an operational challenge because of the large numbers of trucks entering, exiting, and traveling on the road. The rehabilitation will be from the Edens Expressway junction to Ohio Street, spanning from Old Irving Park on the Northwest Side to downtown. The public meeting was held in March 26, 2013 to gather public input and share project information. The crossing of I-294 and I-57 is the only place in the region, and one of very few locations in the country, where two interstates cross but do not have an interchange. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. The initial assessment of the ramp indicates that the steel beams under the right lane of the ramp has extensive damage, which will require a more in-depth inspection and comprehensive repairs. The first phase of the project will begin, weather permitting, on March 20 and focus on the inbound stretch of the Kennedy.
